Tente Tent

La presente invention a pour objet une tente, comprenant une armature tubulaire formee d'au moins deux paires de branches articulees entre elles ä une de leurs extr6mitds, caract6ris6e en ce que chaque brauche est formee par un tube, lesquels tubes sont rehds 1'un ä lautre en un point interme diaire de leur longuaur par un bras articule ä Fun <I>des</I> tubes par Tune de ses extremites, alors que son autre extr6mit6 est articul & sur un manchon suscepti ble de coulisser sur Pautre tube, des moyens de blo cage permettant de fixer en Position 1e manchon en un point quelconque 3e long de ce tube selon Fangle d'ouverture des branches de la paire. The subject of the present invention is a tent, comprising a tubular frame formed of at least two pairs of branches hinged together at one of their ends, characterized in that each branch is formed by a tube, which tubes are joined to one another. to the other at an intermediate point of their length by an arm hinged to one of the tubes by one of its ends, while its other end is hinged to a sleeve capable of sliding on the other tube, blocking means allowing the first sleeve to be fixed in position at any third point along this tube according to the opening angle of the branches of the pair.

Le dessin annexe represente, schematiquement et ä titre d'exemple, une forme d'ex6cution de la tente sedon 1'invention. The appended drawing represents, schematically and by way of example, one form of execution of the tent according to the invention.

La fig. 1 montre la tente utiliisee comme auvent sur 1e c6te d'un vehicule. fig. 1 shows the tent being used as an awning on the side of a vehicle.

La fig. 2 est une vue montrant ä plus Brande schelle 1'armature de Bette tente. fig. 2 is a view showing the frame of Bette tent.

La fig. 3 represente une autre utilisation de rette tente. fig. 3 represents another use of rette tent.

La fig. 4 montre une Partie de 1'armature de rette tente en Position paquet6e. fig. 4 shows a portion of the tent frame in the packaged position.

La tente representee comprend une armature tubulaire formde de deux paires 1, respectivement 2, de branches articuldes entre elles et formee chacune de deux tubes 3 et 4 articules 1'un ä :Pautre selon un axe d'articulation 5. Cet axe d'articulation 5 est deporte lateralement par rapport ä laxe des tubes 3 et 4 et se trouve fixe sur une paffe 6 fixee en retrait de 1'extr6mite 7 de son tube porteur 3. Deux joues 8 sont fixees ä proximitd de l'extremite 9 du tube 4, res joues 8 venant s'engager autour de la gatte 6. Laxe d'articulation 5 traverse donc la gatte 6, ainsi que les deux joues. B. The tent represented comprises a tubular frame formed of two pairs 1, respectively 2, of branches articulated between them and each formed of two tubes 3 and 4 articulated to one another along an articulation axis 5. This articulation axis 5 is offset laterally with respect to the axis of the tubes 3 and 4 and is fixed on a paffe 6 fixed set back from the end 7 of its carrier tube 3. Two flanges 8 are fixed near the end 9 of the tube 4 , res cheeks 8 coming to engage around the gate 6. The axis of articulation 5 therefore crosses the gate 6, as well as the two cheeks. B.

Le d6calage de Faxe d'artieulation 5 par rapport aux axes des tubes 3, 4 permet de laisser libre 1'extremite 7 du tube 3 qui peut ainsi recevoir Fem bout 10 solidaire d'un tobe transversal 11 dispose entre les paires de branches 1 et 2. The offset of the artieulation fax 5 with respect to the axes of the tubes 3, 4 makes it possible to leave the extremity 7 of the tube 3 free, which can thus receive the end 10 fixed to a transverse tobe 11 arranged between the pairs of branches 1 and 2.

Les deux tubes 3, 4 de chaque paire sont relies 1'un ä Fautre en un point intermediaire de leur Ion gueur par un bras. 12. Ce bras 12 est articule par Tune de ses extreanites @surc un axe 13 fixe ä une gatte 34 rapport6e contre 1e twbe 3. Lautre extre mit6 du bras 12 est articu16e en 14 sur une gatte 15 fixee ä un manchon 16 susceptible de coulisser sur 1e tube 4. Des moyens de blocage permettent de fixer en Position 1e manchon 16 en un point quelconque 1e long du tube 4 sehn Fangle d'ouverture du compas. Ces moyens comprennent un trou taraude 17 menage transversalement dann 1e manchon 16 et une vis ä tete en forme de poulet 18 engag6e dans ce trou taraude 17. Le vissage de rette vis 18 dans 1e trou 17 permet de faire porter Fextr6mite de la vis contre 1e tube 4 pour bloquer 1e manchon 16 sur celui-ci. The two tubes 3, 4 of each pair are connected to each other at an intermediate point of their length by an arm. 12. This arm 12 is articulated by one of its ends on an axis 13 fixed to a gate 34 brought against the first twbe 3. The other end mit6 of the arm 12 is articulated at 14 on a gate 15 fixed to a sleeve 16 capable of sliding on the first tube 4. Locking means allow the first sleeve 16 to be fixed in position at any point along the first tube 4 sehn Fangle opening of the compass. These means comprise a tapped hole 17 provided transversely in the sleeve 16 and a chicken-headed screw 18 engaged in this tapped hole 17. tube 4 to block the first sleeve 16 thereon.

Les extrdmites libres des tubes 3 et 4 formant chaque paire portent surr 1e cöt6 un manchon 19, respectivement 20. Ces manchons 19 et 20 sont destines ä recevoir les embouts de fixation 21, respec tivement 22, de tubes transversaux 23, respective ment 24, .reunissant les deux paires 1 et 2. The free ends of the tubes 3 and 4 forming each pair bear on the first side a sleeve 19, respectively 20. These sleeves 19 and 20 are intended to receive the end pieces 21, respectively 22, of the transverse tubes 23, .bringing together the two pairs 1 and 2.

Daus 1e ras repr6sente ä la fig. 1, la tente d6crite est utilisee comme auvent sur 1e cöt6 d'.un vehieule. La fixation des paires de branches 1 et 2 au vdhicule se Fait ä Faide de moyens d'attache. Ces moyens d'attache comprennent chaeun une gatte 25 qui, dans 1e ras represente ä la fig. 2, est solidaire d'un goujon 26 destine ä etre engage dans un trou menage dann 1e toit 27 du vehicule. Un eerou 28 permet la fixa tion de la patte 25 par son goujon 26 au vdhicule. Catte gatte 25 porte un axe d'articulation 29 Sur lequel est destinee ä etre engagee 1'extremite corres- pondante 30 du tube 3 de chaque paire. Un Organe de serrage 31 permet 1e blocage de ladite extr6mit6 30 contre la gatte 25. In the first ras represented in FIG. 1, the described tent is used as an awning on the side of a vehicle. The attachment of the pairs of branches 1 and 2 to the vehicle is made using attachment means. These attachment means each comprise a catch 25 which, in the first flush shown in FIG. 2, is integral with a pin 26 intended to be engaged in a hole made in the first roof 27 of the vehicle. An eerou 28 allows fixing of the leg 25 by its stud 26 to the vehicle. This flap 25 carries a hinge pin 29 on which the corresponding end 30 of the tube 3 of each pair is intended to be engaged. A clamping member 31 allows said end 30 to be locked against the gate 25.

De pr6ference, la toile 32 de .1a tente est fixee au tube transversal 23. Lors du montage de la tente, apres avoir deploy6 les paires de branches 1 et 2 et avoir fixe 1e tube transversal 11, an d6roule la toile du tube 23 pou.r etendre celle-ei entre 1e tube 23 et 1e tube transversal 11. Si la toile e.st suffi- samment longue, celle-ci .peut etre 6tendue jusqu'aux pieds des tubes 4 oü un tube transversal 24 peut servir ä sa fixation. Preferably, the canvas 32 of the tent is fixed to the transverse tube 23. When setting up the tent, after having deployed the pairs of branches 1 and 2 and having fixed the first transverse tube 11, the canvas is unrolled from the tube 23 for .extend this between tube 23 and cross tube 11. If the fabric is long enough, it can be extended to the feet of tubes 4 where a cross tube 24 can be used for its fixation.

Une telle tente utilis6e comme auvent est d'un montage extremement rapide. Du fait de la presence das bras 12, Parmature de rette tente est de grande rigidite, ce qui en permet Femploi non se-ulement pour 1e camping, mais aussi comme tente d'etala- giste ou negociant ambulant. Il est ä noter que rette tente peut aussi etre utilisee -comme tente indepen- dante d'un vehicule. En effet, comme 1e montre la fig. 3, rette tente peut etre utilisee comme tente de camping ou autre du type ä deux paus inclines for- mant 1e toit. Daus ce ras, les extr6mites 30 des com- pas reposent Sur 1e sol. Such a tent used as an awning is extremely quick to erect. Due to the presence of arms 12, the frame of the tent tent is very rigid, which allows its use not only for camping, but also as a stallholder's tent or itinerant trader. It should be noted that this tent can also be used as a tent independent of a vehicle. Indeed, as shown in FIG. 3, this tent can be used as a camping tent or the like of the type with two sloping roof sections. In this area, the ends 30 of the compasses rest on the ground.

Un autre avantage de rette tente ä usages multi ples resulte du faible encombrement de son armature en pos.ition paquetee. Comme 1e montre la fig. 4 et du fait du d6calage des axes d'articulation 5, 13 et 14 par rapport ä Faxe des tubes 3, 4, les trois 616ments 3, 4 et 12 peuvent etre amenes sensible- ment parallelement les uns aux autres en position paquetee, ce qui reduit leur encombrement. Another advantage of this multipurpose tent results from the small size of its frame in the packed position. As shown in fig. 4 and due to the offset of the axes of articulation 5, 13 and 14 with respect to the axis of the tubes 3, 4, the three elements 3, 4 and 12 can be brought substantially parallel to each other in the packed position, this which reduces their bulk.

Daus la forme d'ex6cution d6crite ci-dessus, an a suppos6 que chaeun des tubes 3, 4 etait dune piece. Bien entendu, res tubes 3, 4 pourraient eux- memes eire formds de .plusieurs 616ments emboites l.'un dans lautre. De nombreuses variantes d'ex6cution pourraient etre imaginees, sofft pour les axes d'-articulation des tubes les uns aux autres, sofft .pour des dispositifs de fixation tels que les pattes 25, par exemple. Ces pattes 25, au lieu d'etre fixees rigidement au toit 27 du vehicule ä Faide d'un goujon 26 et d'un eerou 28, pourraient etre fixees simplement ä Faide dune ven- touse 33 representee ä la fig. 2. In the embodiment described above, it has been assumed that each of the tubes 3, 4 is in one piece. Of course, res tubes 3, 4 could themselves eire formds of .several 616ments nested one in the other. Many execution variants could be imagined, sofft for the axes of articulation of the tubes to each other, sofft .for fastening devices such as the legs 25, for example. These brackets 25, instead of being fixed rigidly to the roof 27 of the vehicle by means of a pin 26 and a bolt 28, could be fixed simply by means of a suction cup 33 represented in FIG. 2.

Daus 1e ras oü la tente est utihsee comme tente ä toit ä deux paus, tel RTI ID="0002.0278" WI="6" HE="4" LX="696" LY="2264"> que repr6sent6 ä la fig. 3, les extr6mites 30 des tubes 3 pourraient etre munies de pieds amovibles destines ä empecher Fenfoncement de res extr6mit6s 30 dann 1e sol. Ces pieds pourraient etre du meme genre que les pieds 35 fixes aux extre- mites des tube.s 4 et qui sont constitues par un simple disque soude ä res extr6mites. In the first plane where the tent is used as a two-tier roof tent, such as RTI ID="0002.0278" WI="6" HE="4" LX="696" LY="2264"> shown in FIG. 3, the ends 30 of the tubes 3 could be provided with removable feet intended to prevent the sinking of the ends 30 into the ground. These feet could be of the same type as the feet 35 fixed to the ends of the tubes 4 and which consist of a simple disc welded at the ends.
